¡Bienvenido!

hello person, how are things? So I got into raleigh yesterday and melinda and I ate dinner here = it was really small and tomorrow we will do it otra vez. Call if you'd like to join I'm a good cook I promise

But also, she helped me get started on fixin up my room - finally....with posters and what not. Then today I was bored when I woke up b/c I didn't have to work till 6 so I gutted everything and organized it! What a super good feeling.....I feel......neat

I wish that clueless was on...that movie makes me laugh and paul rudd = hot


speaking of movies -
over the break I watched quite a few b/c my dad coudlnt'really do anything ever. Of them all the best were Napoleon Dynamite, Anchorman, and COld Mountain - soo good! Cold Mountain made me cry though
Napoleon(am I spelling that right?) Dynamite was so flippin funny I fell over and watched it 2 more times b/c my sister got it for Christmas

I hit my head on the edge of the cupboard above my sink and it hurts real bad and now I have a headache

Well.....I really wanna brush my teeth.

I think I'll floss too


then go to bed on account of I have to get up at 4:45 in the mornin

Today I worked at Starbucks (early in the am, of course) and then came home and took the longest nap ever! I really need to not nap because I always set an alarm for 45min. later but don't wake up until 4 hours later...yikes!

I went to the Berkley tonight w/E-beth, Summer, and Kyle, it was drum and bass night and let me tell you....that's an odd crowd. I think drum and bass is good in a club with lights when you're dancing....but beyond that - it's just not me!

So I've come to the conclusion that I should be a nun because all I ever do with men (besides giggle uncontrollably) is embarrass myself. Or I could totally be one of those women that has 209384023984 dogs and cats and smells like dog food and hair. Well, maybe not.

ANyway, I think NC State is really sad when classes aren't in session - it's so empty and quiet! I miss all the hub bub! I hate to say it...but I"m ready for classes to start up

...speaking of classes...I think I can take elementary education classes at meredith - which means I can do everything here at State and get it all done now which is awesome. I think I'm going to Spain next spring by the way ::fingers crossed::

ok here I go to bed, g'night!

I just wanted to use a big word. . . .

anyway this sandwich is sooo good (peanut butter and banana) because this all natural peanut butter is 230948230948 times better - you should try it

So I already have homework....my spanish classes are getting so much harder each semester I'm gonna fall over

I got 3 compliments on my smile yesterday! One dude said I had a 'gorgeous' smile (every girl loves that word!) because my eyes get all squinty - which is funny b/c I used to be insecure about my squinty eyes hahah.

So the dude at subway knows me now and always talks to me and gives me extra stamps (woohoo!) but the bad part is . . . I cna't understand him! I'm absolutely HORRIBLE with accents! I can learn the language but I can't understand the accent. So most of the time I"m just nodding and saying " oh really? awesome" etc.

Well as you can tell I'm real bored...which is why I'm updating my tabulas....but I don't have to work today so I should probably enjoy this day while I can - although I can work at the starbucks in southpoint if I want, hmmm.....

well I reckon I'll do my homework (yikes!) and probably go swimming then go hang out w/Tyrone and all those folks - give me a call if you're as bored as I am!

Hey guys! I'm at work and I'm pretending to be the manager right now b/c John P (gm) is gone - woohoo!

Anyway it's really slow b/c it's Monday so I decided to update tabulas...even though if I got caught I'd probably be beheaded

Classes were good today! Today's classes included: HI 215 which I have w/Lin Lin (a.k.a Lindsey). It's really super boring, history of latin america. I absolutely DESPISE history (unless it's exciting fun history like roman history etc.) but I'm excited to have it with lindsey b/c I'ms ure that'll be a blast!

Then I have ANT 251, an anthropology that talks about evolution and what not...not sure the exact "title" of it at the moment, but the textbooks look really interesting so hopefully that'll be fun

thennnn I have FLS 302 - hispanic literature which is gonna be hard as crap, although I have Lioret as my teacher - I've had him before and he's pretty cool.

tomorrow I have entomology which I'm taking to get over my fear of bugs, I'm SO excited about this class! It looks like it'll be real fun. Then I have yet another very difficult spanish class, FLS 300 which is some sort of literature or another. I am excited about these classes thoughb /c we all know I'll be better at spanish afterwards!

Speaking of spanish, I've run into all my spanish buddies today, James Wallace is in my 302 class which is awesome b/c I heart him so much! And I saw Alvaro at the bookstore and he introduced me to another of his spanish-speaking friends, and I met Rick Pineda - one of Marley's friends who apparently went to my high school who's gonna talk to me in Spanish for practice (yesss!) Then there's always Henry at work....but i don't think he likes speaking spanish (why wouldn't you???) And I just spoke to 2 dudes lookin for a pickup for their guitar and when they left one of 'em said " adios, mi amor!" (which means goodbye my love{just in case}) . It's just so fun helping people that can't speak english...they really appreciate it and they're ALWAYS super friendly

anyway sorry that was so long....I can't wait for Pack It Up on thursday!

g'night all
much love,
Kat

5am comes early, no? I woke up early this morning (about 4am) and walked around half asleep turning on lights then realized what time it was and went back to sleep for an hour.....it was so weird, I even weird my own self out somtimes.


In other news, I'm not tired today! Although that'll probably catch up with me in about....10min. I had such a busy day though and it's not even close to being over - here goes:

*worked at starbucks 5:30am - 11:30am
*came home and changed out of coffee beans
*entemology 1:05-2:20pm (w00t! I love that class more and more each day!)
*went to get my oil changed and tire patched - thanks Bosley!
* went to bookstore to return old books only to find I have to wait till April...bastards
* swam for about 30min.

now I'm here and this is what's next:
*nap? nap or errands...probably errands b/c if I nap I'll be asleep till never
* arranging music w/tony and watching the game
*pack it up at 10pm


Tues. and Thurs. are so crazy but I always feel so accomplished. The moral of the story is I would love to have a swimming partner. I usually don't like working out w/people but I think if I found a swimmer that'd be lovely - but you have to be serious about swimming so there


Also - Victor Wooten and Gov't Mule are coming soon, any takers? no? no? Bueller?

that is all, have a super great day and ocme see me tomorrow night at starbucks b/c I have to close w/Satan

much love,
Katrin

I've been looking for The God of Small Things for days now....I looked in Denve r(that's where I was when I disappeared f.y.i)...I can't find it! I want to read it agian soooooooooo bad

blast!

Happy birthday Mommy and Hillary I had a super great time at home!

I saw Susan which was awweeesooommeee. She's the one person so far that i can talk about anything to. I guess it's b/c I've been talkign to her since 6th grade. I'm definitely close to people now....but with her it's just been so long and nothing will surprise either of us. It was good to catch up


And also I'm having really scary nightmares....that usually means something's going very awry or I've lost control of something or I can't stop worrying about something even if I don't realize it.

oh dear....



p.s. I saw Garden State finally and it's so incredibly good

Today is an awesome day. I got like....oh.....3 hours of sleep but for some reason I am in the BEST mood ever That's never a bad thing.

Although I was buying a birthday card for my sister and the cards were making me well up with tears so I think (cover your eyes guys) . . . . .
that I have PMS hahaha


anyway...............Today classes were classes, weather was cold, lunch was awesome, and I am finally getting into reading The God of Small Things again! I had to buy it...which means that in about a month I'll find it in the most obvious place. Oh well

So I was thinking, and I think that James Wallace is my hero. He's an awesome singer and vocal percussionist, an awesome Spanish speaker, and an awesome person. I don't think I've ever seen him in a bad mood. Here's to you, James! You're a brave little toaster


I was also thinking about Led Zeppelin today while listening to Disc 3 of the box set. People always ask me what my favorite Zepp song is, and I always say that it's cruel to make someone pick a favorite. Just like I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite Ben Folds Five song (omg that's next week omg omg omg)

I did, however, try and narrow it down, and here are 5 of my favorites (in no particular order):
All of My Love
The Rain Song
Ten Years Gone
Going to California
The Battle of Evermore


and there you have it.




In conclusion, Robert Plant is the sexiest man that was ever created. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, even sexier than Brandon Boyd. I know, I know!! I never thought I'd hear myself say that either, but after watching him in action on the DVDs, I've come to the conclusion he's #1 and Brandon's #2 (he's still on the RBC billboard btw - so hot right now). Also, Mr. Plant and I share the same birthday(if I didn't already tell you that 23098423094 times).


Booyah!
much love,
Katrin Leida Rahe

soooo they're doing sourcerer's apprentice in wind ensemble...

of course.


*sigh* . . . I can't see ben folds

It was gonna be such an incredible concert...not only that but it was gonna be w/Grant, Melinda, and Lizzy - best company ever



oh well.......................

you know what I don't understand about guys? Is why if they're confused about whether or not a girl likes them they'll often act like a$$holes. Why? That's the last thing I'd do but then again......I'm not a guy.

Also I'm excited about our spring concert and you shoudl come


you shoudl also come to Psi jam friday


J:We4tu;a9otyiausdhkjao;sukgy;asu89e9;u >:-o

bad day I miss Hillary

~Kat

are so good. Seriously...I haven't had them in 2347230948 years but I have an intense craving for some right meow.

So #1 Jeg told me that at the Ben Folds concert he had backup folks that played drums and bass....and sang the harmonies that darren and robert did. How lame is that????/ Just freakin re-be ben folds five! Anyway I got to hear Carrying Cathy and Ascent of Stan on my phone so that was hot Next time Ben's in town, if I don't see him I'm seriously gonna freak out...FREAK OUT I SAY!


Also I went and ate @ Elmo's w/Melinda, Lizzy, Grant, and Jackie before the concert and oooooooooooh my goodness those pancakes were incredilbe. Seriously.....SO good. They were banana OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh soooo good. I'm gonna need to eat there again. That was the restaurant that my sister ate at w/Chuckles when they visited his family for Thanksmas. Crazy, no? Which means all the cute stores she was talking about were right there....and I didn't go see them - blast! I need to go to Durham again (with money)

So then I went and practiced my bassoon till Pack it Up rehearsal and let me just say that i SUCK. I finally found myf avorite solo book which is awesome But I do suck...and I need to practice more. Maybe I"ll join concert band (barf)

Pack it Up rehearsal went really well and I'm SO excited about our performance. You shoudl come! Psi Jam ton ight at 8pm $5 students Hill Hall at UNC CHapel Hill
holla holla

ok nap!

~Katrin

So you know you're getting old when all your friends are going to bed at 1:30 on a Fri. night. Although it kinda works out good b/c it turns out I'm exhausted....I just forgot


hahaha

I just ate a burger at Hams(I think) in Chapel Hill and it was.....just....beyond description. SO good. Which is why I odn't understand why all you folks are vegetarian. I love me some red meat.

Speaking of dinner....guess who walks in the restaurant ....none other than JON BURNS! That's right guys, Jon Burns. I had a severe obsession with him in high school....think maintenance man x20394823094. I didn't say hi b/c I didn't know what I would say, I probably still have a crush on him and would still be speechless and when I did talk just say " uuuuh" which seems to happen with all men. Always.
I think the thing with Jon Burns and the maintenance man is that it's more like a past time. Maybe even a challenge? Lord knows I love a challenge.

Not one day goes by that I don't think about Grandma Rahe or Taz . . . . I just had to say that because it's true. I've heard people say taht before but never experienced it until now.



BUT NOW ONTO THE IMPORTANT SH*T: Our concert was tonight - Psi Jam. I was SOOOOO nervous! I'm never that nervous...it was bad. Therefore I sounded like caca. Oh well...I had fun though That's the thing with our group,we're fun and entertaining. People tend to criticize us as they would other a capella groups but you have to understand this:
We're not singers
We just want to have fun
We're not singers

Not that we're bad. In fact, I love our group and I think we kick ass on Eleanor Rigby. I personally get really insecure though. I just want so badly to be able to sing and I have so many friends that are incredible singers and I'm trying! I can sing in the shower (or as far as I can tell) ...so if I could just do that in front of people.....


Anyway I think I'll go do more writing in my journal, watch Roseanne, then sleeeep I can sleep in! I have to work, of course, but I can go to the gym in the morning and sleep in till....10am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


ok sorry that was such a long entry

I love all of you as much as I loved my cheeseburger tonight
